In this introduction you will learn what a Spiritual Companion Group is and be connected with a group of 4 or 5 others in which you will be able to authentically share your story, be encouraged on your spiritual journey, and enjoy community life.
Participants will be placed in a small group for a lightly structured time of sharing and will covenant to meet once a month for 6 months (January to June). Meetings will open and close with a brief time of stillness in a spiritual practice and have a time for visiting afterwards. Monthly dates will be determined by the group or meet Sundays from 11:30am to 1pm.

Facilitated by Anne Wicks, Spiritual Director/KBE Facilitator

The KAIROS Blanket Exercise™ program is a unique, interactive and participatory Canadian-Indigenous history lesson developed in collaboration with Indigenous Elders, knowledge keepers and educators for reconciliation. During the KBE, participants walk on blankets representing the land and into the role of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples by reading scrolls and carrying cards which ultimately determine their outcome as they literally ‘walk’ through situations that include pre-contact, treaty-making, colonization and resistance. The Exercise concludes with a debriefing, conducted as a ‘talking circle’, during which participants discuss the learning experience, process their feelings, ask questions, share insights and deepen their understanding. Canada is in a season of reconciliation and we are all invited to participate.
